Ola What’s up bro Hope your well dude much love from America,Would you consider Reviewing or going over the Seymour Duncan Jupiter Rails?thank you! #Buffalo #NewYork
Hey bro we appreciate every single video that you drop and put down it is like gold to most of us thanks bro for everything you do you have taught me so much man I owe you $1000000 if I had it I would give it to you just for all the lessons I've learned off TH-cam and s*** just feel like I owe you a million bucks man you're awesome keep on rock and roll
What I love about chasing tone is you finally get it dialed in and it sounds great. You come back the next day and nothing has changed, now it sounds like shit..... Damn ears just fucking with me.
Hmm had the same hahaha but I must say I'm pretty happy with my prs MT15 with a palmer 2x12 cab and equilizer pedal/boost pedal using a Esp Ltd black metal with seymour Duncan pickups very tight and heavy sound lots of bass and clarity after a really long search!
@@daan3192 I've been kicking around the idea of getting an MT15, they look and sound killer! Just not sure how they do at lower (bedroom) volume. Haven't been able to find one locally to try out.
7:36 Some people invert the toggle in Les Pauls, Eddie Van Halen's Wolfgang guitar also has an inverted toggle (afaik). It makes sense if you play a lot of tapping through the bridge pickup because you accidentally switch to the neck position when the toggle is regular while tapping.
I thought your rhythm tone was exceptional. In my mind the best here. Sounded like a guitar army. Did you double track? ...triple track? ...quad track?
@@rudi_tabootie basically all music "critics" are jackasses, but never have the courage to show their face like any journalist. At least he isn't a puss like that.
@@bobowrathsovine. What does nationality have to do with anything, not everyone from the United States is a douche bag and not everyone from other countries are friendly
Great idea, Ola - love the video. The Rammstein cover at the start is pretty much a note-for-note / tone recreation! He's even using the Richard Z Kruspe ESP signature ;) I too am not a huge fan of the very scooped, fizzy tone the band used in the 90s... the post-Mutter albums have a much rounder and full sound which suits the band's dramatic, theatric delivery and presentation.
Ugh, I can't stand it when I hear a cover and the music is 90% and the cover guitar is 10% and it fools everyone thinking they nailed the tone. Drives me harder than a modded 808
Hey Ola, glad my tone made it into the video and that you liked it! I actually don't own that E530 anymore, but I am thinking of picking up another soon. I'll keep your advice in mind if I get one in the future haha.
I had someone drive by me on a motorcycle, it was downtown and were tall 5 story buildings on both sides. Right as soon as he was directly aside me on my side of the street, because I had to sit down.
I agree about bass. So many tones today are so thin for lack of bass. My EVH 5150 III Stealth with resonance dimed, mids at 11:00, highs and presence at 3:00, and bass at 11:00 chugs like a drunk college girl. Spot on assessment about proper tones, Ola!
This is the type of video to inspire thousands..I watch and I think "damn, I can make a better tone then that"...I'm sure I'm not the only person either to think that..get ready cuz you opened the flood gates with this one 🤘🖤
About bridge/beck selector pickup I changed the side too on my lespaul (I turned it 90°) because 1. it prevents changing bridge pickup to neck pickup if I move a lot on stage and 2. we can come back quicker on bridne pick after a solo for example by just "slapping forward" the selector (I dont know if it's understandable but when you have the guitar in your hand it's more logical - by the way that's my thing, maybe not everyone things).
@Myles O'Peter yep for sure, I’m a big fan of Carl bell from fuel he has very dime inspired leads (songs, prove and down) he always used mki triamps back then so I’ve taken the same route and couldn’t be happier.
It's understandable most would want just the guitar. The problem you run into is that although you come up with a great tone. When you play with others it sometimes doesn't work out. So you gotta adjust for both the band setting and individual. It's like you could have a great tone on its own. But the mix or whatever changes it entirely. I'd say judge based off both
An easy way to get a great metal tone is to simply buy a dimebucker, tune your guitar down to D standard 425 Hz / 430 Hz and set your amp with a little mid (around 4), high bass and treble (around 8 , 9). Even better if you add a gain booster pedal
Hope this becomes a regular... i really need more exposure to diff amps (live in a Metal desert). Personally, I like to start with a very clean/loud pickup, and let it push the pre-amp (tube or pedal) from there... for me, if I start with too much coloration (i.e. distortion from the pickup) then it limits what I can do downstream.
This is interesting on many levels. Tone is subjective in a way, like you mentioned, but knowledge of tonedesign is a big factor of course. Then there are factors like on what kind of speakers do we listen to the recordings and how well do we manage to record the sound etc. So Equipement can also be a big factor. I recently spend a day on "my metalsound" apart from this video, only to play with it on the next day and disliking my final result. So there is also a day form (don't know if this term does make sense in english). Personally I'm a big fan of sharper, bass heavy, lower on mids sounds but I do know they lack that warm tone. I haven't managed to combine both worlds yet. it's either warm but not as brutal or the other. I'm playing with Boss Katana MK2, harley benton g212, solar 1.6 D ltd (basically ola sold me everything of it through videos XD NO REGURDS)
When you say mixed in songs, do you mean them playing in a full mix? Because in a full mix, an isolated guitar tone will sound way different and way thinner than you think because the guitar shouldn't try to cover all the frequencies, the bass it supposed to give the boost to the low end. if you play a "good guitar tone" in a full mix, it'll clash harshly with the other instruments.
Enjoyed this video. Great for tone junkies!!! For those using impulse responses describe them in detail what in the tone chain, make it seem more realistic.
My tone for Malignant Intent: epiphone sg - hm2 (not all up) - marshall 30w practice amp - laptop mic My tone for Abscesssucker: Ovation Celebrity - hm2 - behringer UMC22 DI (the amp died...) feel free to recreate :D
Hey Ola, I use the real thing 5150 III micd with an sm57 and Ribbon R2 mark 2. Ill make a short vid of the guitar tone by itself and post it, will reply to this comment with a link. Love your content!
Hello. So I don’t know much about pedals or any gear to be honest. When I was a teenager my brother had a Crate practice amp and loved how it sounded. So when I eventually needed an amp that I could hear with my drummer buddy, I bought a Crate GT1200 Full Stack. But it seems to lack in the crunch tones. Would you recommend I try like a Amptweaker Depthfinder or maybe a distortion pedal to get a better crunchy tone? My favorite bands to jam to are Megadeth, Death, King Diamond, Carcass, etc. Thanks. Spine Bone
I used to run an absolutely cooked JCM2000TSL with an old Big Muff in front through a cheap Laney cab and it was thick and filthy and sizzled because everything was broken just right and I cannot replicate the sound anymore.
As the only sane person at the gig, normal to be guessing what the others " tone' will be. Sometimes you need just full on highs to cut through the constant bass thunder and incessant drum solos...lol
Hey Ola ! What's a good budget friendly amp to use with my Dean ML? I have a house full of kids so I can't go full rock star unless we all want to eat Mr Noodles for the next century .🤪🍻🤘 Thanks!
hi ola, try some doom rig like sunn amp, matamp, emperor cab, doom guitar has a lot of gain and low end bass and a lot of fuzzy sounding to like matt pike. hope you’ll try it!
You can look at any of my shit, Ola.....I like jamming out sans headphones, amp screaming and ears ringing. Excellent recent vids, you are doing good things.
I’m confused because he said he is into the 90s metal thing, Dimebag, that’s his favorite tone and his thing but isn’t into scooped and thinner sounding guitar tones……..
damn I've never uploaded anything but im pretty sure my tone is good. amps and mic only for my mark v and 6505 heads through mf400 cab. sounds huge. may need to upload at last
Video on a Saturday? Whatever… have a nice day!
Completely forgot about this when you posted it on your fb page.

yes, who cares if you sound like shit as soon as others join in...
Sit back and watch as Ola very politely judges your tone and gives you sound constructive criticism.
If I'm going to be judged by anyone I will be happy to be judged by this man it would be an honor
@@kowalguitarlife9119 I agree completely
I wouldn't say he's even giving criticism just some friendly advice.

i love it, make these longer!
This would be better if there were a way to mute the mix for a second so the tone could be heard in and out of context (when there is a mix).
I had done that in my Video. I put Mono Guitar, a full Mix and just the string instruments so you can hear everything in different ways.
About bridge/beck selector pickup I changed the side too on my lespaul (I turned it 90°) because 1. it prevents changing bridge pickup to neck pickup if I move a lot on stage and 2. we can come back quicker on bridne pick after a solo for example by just "slapping forward" the selector (I dont know if it's understandable but when you have the guitar in your hand it's more logical - by the way that's my thing, maybe not everyone things).

@Myles O'Peter yep for sure, I’m a big fan of Carl bell from fuel he has very dime inspired leads (songs, prove and down) he always used mki triamps back then so I’ve taken the same route and couldn’t be happier.

8:24 Well Hey! (Also I own Fuzzsimp FX) but thanks for checking out my tone Ola, I have been thinking of making it more metal, I’ll have to try that
Great job man, I thought it sounded pretty great if you're going for a stoner rock tone.
